Arsenic and Old Lace, one of the finest comedies of multiple murder, was the play that put black comedy well and truly back on the theatrical map. It tells the story of two charming and gentle old ladies who poison their poor, orphan lodgers to save them from the sorrows of this world.

This production is being directed by Leonay local Anthony Brown. “Who can ever forget the classic film of this which starred Cary Grant,” Mr. Brown said. “As a young boy I recall watching the film and laughing so much.”

Mr. Brown says he has a very professional team of both actors and crew who have all worked hard to create a fun filled stage production not to be missed.

“We have a brilliant set which has been designed by Stephen Donelan and incredible true period costumes by well known designer Leone Sharp, if you want a night to have a lot of laughs; then come watch this show.”
